(a) Subordination of security interest created by new debtor.— Subject to subsection (b) of this section, a security interest that is created by a new debtor in collateral in which the new debtor has or acquires rights and perfected by a filed financing statement that would be ineffective to perfect the security interest but for the application of § 2328 or of §§ 2328 and 2266(i)(1) of this title is subordinate to a security interest in the same collateral which is perfected other than by such filed financing statement.
(b) Priority under other provisions; multiple original debtors.— The other provisions of this subchapter determine the priority among conflicting security interests in the same collateral perfected by filed financing statements described in subsection (a) of this section. However, if the security agreements to which a new debtor became bound as debtor were not entered into by the same original debtor, the conflicting security interests rank according to priority in time of the new debtor's having become bound.
